Lyrics

Qui dove il mare luccica
E tira forte il vento
Sulla vecchia terrazza
Davanti al golfo di Surriento
Un uomo abbraccia una ragazza
Dopo che aveva pianto
Poi si schiarisce la voce
E ricomincia il canto
Te vojo bene assai
Ma tanto tanto bene sai
E' una catena ormai
Che scioglie il sangue dint’e vene sai
Vide le luci in mezzo al mare
Penso alle notti la in America
Ma erano solo le lampare
E la bianca scia di un’elica
Senti il dolore nella musica
E si alzo dal pianoforte
Ma quando vide uscire
La luna da una nuvola
Caruso
Gli sembro piu dolce anche la morte
Guardo negli occhi la ragazza
Quegli occhi verdi come il mare
Poi all’improvviso usci una lacrima
E lui credette di affogare
Potenza della lirica
Dove ogni dramma e un falso
Che con un po’di trucco e con la mimica
Puoi diventare un altro
Ma due occhi che ti quardano
Cosi vicini e veri
Ti fan scordare le parole
Confondono i pensierei
Cos diventa tutto piccolo
Anche le notti la in America
Ti volti e vedi la tua vita
Dietro la scia di un’elica
Ma si, e la vita che finisce
E non ce penso poi tanto
Anzi, si sentiva gia felice
E ricomincio il suo canto
Te vojo bene assai
Ma tanto tanto bene sai
E una catena ormai
Che scioglie il sangue dint’e vene sai

Lyrics translation

Here where the sea shines
And pull the wind hard
On the old terrace
In front of the Gulf of Surriento
A man hugs a girl
After she cried
Then you clear your voice
And The Singing begins again
You vojo very well
But so much so well you know
It's a chain now.
That dissolves blood dint'e veins you know
He saw the lights in the middle of the sea
I think of the nights there in America
But it was only the lamps
And the White Trail of a propeller
Feel the pain in the music
And he gets up from the piano
But when he saw it coming out
The moon from a cloud
Caruso
I seem sweeter to him even death
I look into the girl's eyes
Those green eyes like the sea
Then suddenly a tear comes out
And he thought he was drowning
Power of lyric
Where every drama is a fake
That with a little makeup and mimicry
You can become another
But two eyes that quart you
So close and true
Let you forget the words
They confuse the thoughts
So everything becomes small
Even the nights there in America
You turn around and see your life
In the wake of a propeller
But yes, and the life that ends
And I don't think about it so much
In fact, he already felt happy
And I start her singing again
You vojo very well
But so much so well you know
And a chain now
That dissolves blood dint'e veins you know
